Im English yet unfortunately im not sure about this:-

WHO IS THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND???

[gw1]

This is the sort of question usually asked by English people, if you're not then forgive me!!! There is no "Queen of England" per se; Elizabeth II is queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. So it might be conjectured that as England is a constituent part of the UK then she is queen of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The last "Queen of England� was Queen Anne from 8 Mar 1702 until 6 Mar 1707 when union with Scotland made her �Queen of Great Britain, France and Ireland".

[Octavius]

The Kingdom of England was first unified as a state by Athelstan of Wessex. It ceased to exist as an independent kingdom following the Act of Union in 1707, when it was merged with the Kingdom of Scotland to form the Kingdom of Great Britain.

Today, England exists as one of the constituent countries and nations of the United Kingdom, alongside Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, "Her (or His) Majesty's Peculiars", and a number of colonial holdings.

From 1707, the terms "King of England" and "Queen of England" are incorrect.

[Octavius]

Elizabeth II presently resides as Head of the State which includes England is:

In the United Kingdom, her official title is Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith. In common practice Queen Elizabeth II is referred to simply as "The Queen", "Her Majesty" or in conversation as "Ma'am".

She is the Queen regnant of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, and Saint Kitts and Nevis.

She also holds the positions of Head of the Commonwealth, Supreme Governor of the Church of England and Lord of Mann.

Her Majesty is NOT the monarch of Wales. It is a Principality and has it's own prince, namely Prince Charles!

[Octavius]

No, but Wales is one of the four constituent parts of the United Kingdom of which she IS head of state.

The term Principality of Wales is often used, although the Prince of Wales has no role in the governance of Wales. Basically he does what his mother tells him. Good lad.
